Hello Dawn,
I really like your work! Great color and patterns. I'm specially curious about the Fijian Cannibal forks. Are these painted from actual examples of the utensils? or are these your invention? They would make great pendants or charms.

The canibal forks are taken from actual forks that are in the Museum of Fiji in Suva. I used to live in Fiji and did some work for the museum there. Thats where I fell in love with tapa patterns. I have lots of pics of the canibal forks. and the Fiji Museum catalogue is a must have reference book for me.. Dawn

Hi all, I just finished framing about a dozen pieces. I wanted to post the picture of the Ohana Hut raffle prize so that Psycho Tiki D could have a look at whats coming in the mail! also Im posting a pic of another painting that just sold. Im making all the frames out of recycled wood scavenged from driving around my hood and craigslist free section. next thing on my plate will be the decorative tikiness for my newly built fence. thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes my way. I LOVE birthday wishes! I get to go eat cake tomorrow at Dogbytes house. EEEEEEE I cant wait Dawn

i really dig the frames, dawn. the perfect finish to your great art. i finally got around to ordering a frame for the watercolor study you sent to me a few months ago. i'll post a pic in my collecting thread when it's hung. mahalo, bullet

Dawn,

Do you have pics posted anywhere or they the ones in this thread? If they are the ones in this thread, can you tell which ones are still available?
